Residential Habilitation Service Providers Virtual Office Hours: Best Practice Standards in Behavioral Support

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) recognizes that effective, quality behavioral support must be grounded in and informed by basic, broadly accepted knowledge and processes. We have disseminated the Best Practice Standards in Behavioral Support to streamline expectations and practices for those individuals providing behavioral support in ODP programs. These standards were developed by ODP’s Unified Clinical Team consisting of representation from both the Bureau of Community Supports and the Bureau of Supports for Autism and Special Populations. The standards were drafted and disseminated in early 2021.

We are excited to discuss the standards with Residential Providers, encouraging those within the agency who have a role in oversight or implementation of Behavioral Support Services (e.g. Program Specialists, Clinical Staff, Behavioral Specialists) to join us!

The American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry (AADMD) is bringing together national experts in COVID-19 and IDD to give a much-needed perspective on how to navigate the days and months ahead. We will discuss how to provide a measured response to ensure freedom from illness and at the same time provide physical wellness and happiness.

The expert panel includes:

The webinar is intended for everyone who cares and supports those with IDD.
